Sharks and rays play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems and supporting human livelihoods. However, they are under significant threat from poorly regulated trade that is driving overfishing. The Shark Conservation Fund (SCF) is leading a global effort to address these challenges head-on.
At SCF, we employ a distinctive approach that combines area-based conservation with targeted shark-specific fisheries management reform. In 2023, our efforts yielded substantial progress, including significant policy advancements that have led to tangible impacts on shark populations worldwide.
We invite you to explore our 2023 impact assessment to learn more about how we are advancing shark conservation worldwide.
